TIRES:VALVE
ON 7/10/05, WHILE PULLING MY CAMPER, WHICH IS A 04 GMC 2500HD, BOUGHT NEW TO PULL THIS CAMPER, I EXPERIENCED A FLAT R/R TIRE WITH-IN 40 MILES ON THE TRUCK. ON 7/11/04 I EXPERIENCED 2 FLAT TIRES ON THIS TRUCK DUE TO DEFECTIVE VALVE STEMS. AFTER CHECKING WITH OTHER CHEVROLET/GMC OWNERS AT CAMPGROUNDS, THERE IS A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THE RUBBER VALVE STEMS. I ENDED UP HAVING TO HAVE STEEL VALVE STEMS INSTALLED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD DUE TO TIRE FAILURE AND REPLACING TWO TIRES THAT ONLY HAD 13,500 MILES ON THEM. THE SERVICE REPAIRMAN EXPLAINED THAT DUE TO HEAT BUILDUP ON THE TIRES, THE RUBBER VALVE STEMS WILL NOT ACCEPT THE HEAT, AND FAIL. I HAD THREE FAILURES IN TWO DAYS DUE TO THIS, WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND INJURY

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
TRUCK RUNNING SLUGGISH. DIFFICULT TO START AT TIMES. HOOKED UP TO COMPUTER A COUPLE TIMES AND SHOWED DIFFERENT SENSORS BAD AT DIFFERENT TIMES. DRIVING TO WORK ON 7/7/2005 VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUTS DOWN, ABLE TO PULL INTO A RESTURANT PARKING LOT. PROBLEM : FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR CLOGGED ( THIS IS A VACCUM LINE NO GAS SHOULD GO THROUGH IT) CAUSING GAS TO FLOW AT 60 POUNDS FUEL PRESSURE INTO THE INTAKE MANIFOLD CAUSING A FIRE. BECAUSE OF THIS THE MANIFOLD BURNED A BIG HOLE WHERE #4 CYLINDER WOULD BE LOCATED. THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING 55 MPH DOWN THE ROAD & WAS POSSIBLY STILL BURNING WHILE I WAITED IN MY VEHILCLE TO BE PICKED UP. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DANGEROUS & SHOULD BE LOOKED AT. MY GIRLFRIENDS NEPHEW FOUND THE PROBLEM & REPLACED THE INTAKE MANIFOLD & FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR. WHILE WORKING ON MY 99 GMC SIERRA HER BROTHER WHO DRIVES A 2000 GMC SIERRA DESCRIBES THE SAME PROBLEMS I WAS EXPERIENCING & PROMPTLY BRINGS OVER HIS TRUCK. UPON LOOKING AT HIS FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR IT ALSO WAS FULL OF GAS ! HIS WAS FOUND EARLIER WITHOUT RESULTING IN FIRE & HIS FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR WAS REPLACED. I CONTACTED GMC & THEY HAVE GIVEN ME A HARD TIME, BECAUSE THEY WANTED ME TO TAKE IT TO A GMC GARAGE, I WAS NOT GOING TO PAY TO HAVE IT TOWED THERE . BUT PLAN ON STOPPING THERE MONDAY 7/18/05 TO SHOW THEM THE PARTS ( I HAVE THE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR & THE INTAKE MANIFOLD WITH THE HOLE BURNT THROUGH)

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2003 GMC DIESEL PICKUP. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN TWICE FOR ELECTRICAL REPAIRS IN THE LAST 9 MONTHS. THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS OBSERVED INCLUDE: AIRCONDITIONER CUTTING IN/OUT, RADIO CUTTING IN/OUT, POWER WINDOWS NOT WORKING, DASH GAUGES CUTTING IN/OUT, IDIOT LIGHTS COMING ON (ABS, BRAKES, CHECK ENGINE ETC). IT WAS REPAIRED ONCE BY THE DEALERSHIP AT A COST OF $500. NOW, 9 MONTHS LATER, THE VEHICLE IS BACK IN FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THE TECHNICIAIN TOOK IT FOR A RIDE AND HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS, HE WAS AFRAID HE WOULDN'T MAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
MY ABS SYSTEM PUMPS THE BRAKES AS I SLOW TO A STOP. THIS OFTEN HAPPENS AS I APPROACH A STOP SIGN. I PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP, THE TRUCK SLOWS, AND JUST BEFORE IT STOPS, THE ABS PUMP PUMPS ONCE OR TWICE. I CAN HEAR THE PUMP AND FEEL IT IN THE PEDAL. I OWN A 2001 GMC SIERRA 1500, 4WD, EXTENDED CAB. I REMOVED THE 2 FRONT WHEEL SENSORS, AS WELL AS THE VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR, CLEANED THEM AND REPLACED THEM. I ALSO TESTED EACH SENSOR TO VERIFY THAT IT SHOWED THE PROPER RESISTANCE VALUE. NONE OF THIS FIXED THE PROBLEM.

SEATS
THE DRIVERS SEAT ADJUSTER FAILS TO HOLD THE SEAT FROM SLIDING BACK AND FORTH. I HAVE MANUAL BUCKET SEATS AND HAVE BEEN TOLD BY GMC THAT THERE IS NO RECORDS OF FAILURES. THIS HAS BEEN REPAIRED 5 TIMES BY REPLACING THE SEAT ADJUSTER, ALL UNDER WARRANTY THUS FAR, BUT I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE IF IT FAILS WHILE DRIVING, IT ALLOWS THE DRIVER TO BE MOVED FORWARD WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED.
